Metal legends
Slayer is headlining the Armory this Thursday, presented by 93x and Live Nation.
Slayer are one of the Rushmore of metal, right up there with Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax.
The band announced that 2018 will be their “Farewell Tour”, and if you’ve never seen them live, this is your final chance to jump at the opportunity.

This all-star lineup will also feature other favorites like Lamb of God, Anthrax, Behemoth and Testament. With so many bands on the bill, the show literally will start at 5pm (doors opened at 3:30pm).

Shilpa Ray to open. If the name sounded familiar, she used to be in a "Goth burlesque"-esque band called Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers. Since going solo, she's released three albums - her latest Last Year's Savage …

Quintron’s new project Weather Warlock will be performing at the Turf Club in St Paul on Wednesday. Billed as “Quintronics Weather Warlock”, the show promised music demos and a concert. We’re big fans of Quintron & Miss Pussycat, so this should be an interesting new project.

Originally booked at the smaller 7th Street Entry, Shilpa Ray’s show got upgraded to the much larger mainroom, where she’ll share the stage with local favorites Night Moves, Anonymous Choir, and Wellness.
We saw Ray in Sep 2015 and wrote, “Opening the evening was Brooklyn resident Shilpa Ray and band, who previously toured with her own blues rock band, the Happy Hookers. After a 2013 EP, the band returned this year with full-length, Last Year’s Savage (Northern Spy Records) and dazzled with a 40 min. performance that channeled Natalie Merchant or Norah Jones with a dash of Patti Smith, fronting Alabama Shakes.”

King Tuff (aka Kyle Thomas) will be back in town at the Turf Club on Saturday, May 26th. We previously caught him in April 2015 and said, “While I felt King Tuff's music was different from Father John Misty, they were a lot of fun and won over the audience by the end of their 45-min set. This was evident when bassist Magic Jake came back on stage to clear out his section and you heard loud claps & cheers from the audience. Jake smiled and took a bow.”

Wet is returning to the area in support of their sophomore album Still Run (Columbia Records). Singer Kelly Zutrau said, “The album, and this track in particular, are about leaving dysfunctional relationships even when it is easier to stay. It’s also a call to myself to keep doing, running, making things in an overwhelming world. To not get stuck in comfortable situations if they’re not helping you to grow and live. It’s a documentation of my attempt to get control of my life, my relationships and my art and the losses I experienced in that process.”
